Pros:Easy to take
Cons:If you burp or cough after taking the pill a it can taste really BAD
Bottom Line:Took it for about 8 months and did virtually nothing for me. It's basically an anti-biotic. For me it's been such a waste of my time and I am still stuck with acne. My dermatologist was reluctant prescribe something new so after 8 months I will find a new one derma.

Cons:This product is for bacterial infections, not acne!!!
Bottom Line:I can't believe you people are taking this antibiotic for acne! I almost lost both of my hands due to a minor skin infection because there are so many resistant strains of bacteria. Bacterial resistance is a direct result of antibiotics being used for nonbacterial infections. People are having limbs amputated and dying because bacteria don't respond to antibiotics anymore. Please, stop using this product for acne.
Recommended:No

Pros:Definitely helped clear my mild blemishes up. Keeps my skin clear and soft.
Cons:Causes some horrible stomach aches every now and then.
Bottom Line:Worth a try. I've read the reviews and it doesn't work for everyone. I have used Cephalexin multiple times and it has worked for me each time. I take it three times a day, and it took about 2 weeks for me to see a BIG difference. Even though it does cause some stomach cramping, I still think it is worth it.
Recommended:Yes
Usage:Brittany has used this item for a few months.

Pros:I take a 500 mg capsule two times a day. In the six months I've taken Cephalexin, I haven't noticed a huge difference.
Cons:For six months, I have had spontaneous bouts of nausea -- and my skin hasn't really cleared up that much.
Bottom Line:Eh, try it. It might work for you. It might not.
Recommended:Yes
